Hare Krsna, my beloved Guru Maharaj.
Please accept my most humble obeisencess to Your lotus feet.
All glories to You and to Srila Prabhupada.
I am Gora Nata Raj das and this year too I have the immense fortune to write You a letter for Your glorious Vyasa Puja.
I am very happy to be Your spiritual child, because Your instructions, Your mercy, Your example are helping me to improve more and more, both as a devotee and as a person.
This has been a very intense year for You, because of Your health and the operation of kidney and liver transplants You have been subjected to.
To help You overcome these difficulties and help You to heal, with my mother Antaranga Sakti d. d. we had intensified our prayers, the study, the puja at Tulasi Devi and the parikramas around you. On every occasion, party, event, You were present. During the Ratha Yatra of Milan, You were on the chariot at the lotus feet of Sri Jagannath and Gaura Nitai.
Despite all the sufferings and difficulties, You are always present among us through Your instructions. Every day we listen to Your class, which translates my mother and inspires me a lot especially in the singing of the Holy Names.
I am very sorry not to be able to be in Mayapur to celebrate Your glorious Vyasa Puja, but if Krsna wants, we will celebrate it worthily here in Italy with our Godbrothers and Godsisters.
I sincerely hope You are satisfied with my sadhana, my spiritual service, and I hope You can see some spiritual progress in me.
Please always keep me at the service of Srila Prabhupada and Your lotus feet.
I do not want anything else.
Your spiritual son
Gora Nata Raj Das
